Many men would rather engage in violent fantasy about what they WOULD do instead of doing what they easily COULD.

“I'd kill for my daughter."

OK. Will you risk social inconvenience by calling out your peers loudly and to their face? Or is that bare minimum real-life scenario scarier than your hypothetical one? 1/2

Sometimes, I think I'd be happier just sitting back and hunkering down. I've fought so fucking hard for my community and my people and my fellow workers over the years because if I don't, I don't see anyone else in my position able or willing to step up and do it. And it fucking sucks.

I've been aimlessly bouncing between projects and in a fit of frustration asked myself "which one gets me the most angry?" And then suddenly wrote 5k words in two hours. The problem though, with pouring out all that rage and grief onto paper did mean I cried in the shower when I got home

I have a migraine and people keep interrupting my lunch hour and all I wanna do is play FFXIV and write my trans girl mech version of honorverse manuscript to distract from vampirates book 3 not getting worked on and the thoughts of mortality from the inevitable passage of time

That went surprisingly better than I imagined it would. I don't know I got a whole lot out of it, but he was at least decent about it. He's waiting to see what Ritcey brings to cabinet, armed with what me and our library director have told him.

One of the things I hate about being trans is the gods damned paperwork. My latest application was just rejected again. I have been trying to change my gender marker and name for a DECADE.

You heard it here, Matt Mercer says support your local library! (Pleaseeeeeeeee, the local government keeps on not funding us so we unionized to hold off layoffs!) Also, if you support your local library, than I can hold my job long enough to pull off a mtg event at my library!

My sister was Asst. Manager at a blockbuster, and I did my work placement with her when I was in grade 10. It was so silly and fun and just full of joy. On our break we watched Happy Gilmore in the back with popcorn

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing

Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

Continuing on this, this is part of why folks like Terf wizard authors are the way they are. If the existing power structure is questioned by our existence, it threatens the power she's acquired. she would see us eradicated rather than understand us on any level.

What people don't understand about all the anti-trans laws and incidents lately is that it's not just lawmakers being evil, it's that they honestly believe that they're doing a moral correction of a socitial ill. Because to them, trans women especially, are a threat to society in their eyes. 1/

I think a lot of us millennials & older really take it for granted that we were the last of only a couple generations where there was an all-encompassing campaign to encourage literacy. Everyone used to agree upon it. There were commercials with your favorite celebrities just being like, "READ!"
